Mindful Artist living with CRPS (Complex Regional Pain Syndrome); imaginatively exploring & experimenting with art and words to raise awareness of painful symptoms. Imaginative redesigning. How will you successfully create your day? Redesign yourself with gratitude and imagination. I choose to "turn down the volume of pain" by visually interpreting my feelings and emotions by embracing art therapy techniques and ideas, to confront fears; vulnerabilities; limitations and challenges head on. Creatively mark-making a "self-portrait" and visually interpreting physical and emotional pain signals on a 2D painted surface. come along with me while I imagine a new canvas and bring forth a new-found narrative.
